Will You Race to Unlock Bugs Bunny First?

The Looney Tunes collaboration is limited-time, so act fast. Bugs Bunny won’t return to the shop once this season ends. Collectors can’t afford to sleep on this iconic crossover. Will Bugs become your new main skin, or will The Foundation steal the spotlight?
